Introduced so long ago as the year 1658, when it was 
cultivated in the Botanic Garden at Oxford; but it seems 
to have been lost latterly. The specimen from which our 
drawing was taken was obligingly communicated by Mr. 
William Young, Nurseryman, Milford, near Godalming, 
along with several other rare plants found in Tenerifte and 
the neighbouring islands by P. B. Webb, Esq. 
Requires the protection of a frame in winter, but grows 
freely in the open air in the summer: the specimen we 
examined flowered in the Greenhouse in April last. The 
root is perennial. It is increased either by seeds or division 
of its roots. 
Ranunculus cortusefolius and R. grandifolius of the 
Rev. Mr. Lowe (Primitie Flore et Faune Madere, p. 38) 
are both distinguished by their great branching panicles.
